WEBVTT - Rob Gronkowski is a Buccaneer & Final Pre-Draft Breakdown | Bucs Insider

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Buccaneers in satur Live presented by Miller like

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here and this is where

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>we take all of your questions. So go ahead and

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.239
<v Speaker 1>watch on the Facebook page if you're not already, They're

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>going to the comments section and you can leave all

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>of your thoughts, comments, questions leading up to a lot

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of things that could be happening over the course of

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the next week. We were finally in that period where

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>we have been guessing at things and hypothetical things, and

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>we are finally going to know something, hopefully, but unfortunately

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>not quite as soon as we thought we would, just

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>when we thought we were so close. Uh So, in

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>case people haven't heard all the news, what has happened

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the timing of everything, you know of

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 1>the franchise tag, the CBA voting and how all these

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>affect each Other's a very fluid situation and usually this

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't see this very often in the NFL. Generally

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you have specific dates and they don't ever change, so

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you know exactly what your deadlines are going to be.

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's a different landscape right now because deciding upon

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>whether or not to reach agreement on the c b

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>A obviously is the most important thing then that's going

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to affect the next decade of this league, so you

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just kind of have to wait. Uh, they pushed the

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFL p A pushed their deadline for players to

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>get their votes in back to Saturday. So subsequently, the

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>NFL pushed the deadline for putting franchise or transition tags

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to Monday, which makes sense because the way it was

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>laid out before where you had to get the transition

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that you had to have those tags in by four

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>o'clock on Thursday, but players were still voting till Thursday,

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't really make a lot of sense. It was. It

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a messed up timeline because if the

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>new c b A and everybody, I think most people

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>already know this, but if there's a new cb A,

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it will likely change the rules for this season on

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>how you can use tags. This is sort of an

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>unusual season in that the last year of the c

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>b A, by rule, you can use both the franchise

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and transition tags in the same year. So there's there's

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of teams that would need to do

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that anyway, but there's a couple that are probably considering it.

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>We could possibly be one of them, and you know,

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe Dallas like that. So the timeline is different, but

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the decisions are still the same. We're trying to give

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you the chance to make the decisions with all the

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>available information rather than guessing. Which is good and helpful.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense, it does. It kills us because we've

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>been dying to know things. But there's another deadline coming

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because the eighteen, which is a week from today, I

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>believe for is the start free agency. So you know,

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>we better know by then. We got to know things

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>by that point. Um and I saw another piece of

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>news that came out. We had a question already about

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a Gilbert asked, what does the compensatory pick mean for us? Well,

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it means we get another pick. We got a fourth

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>round pick, number one thirty nine overall, which is the

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>highest compensatory pick we have gotten since two thousand and three.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that one didn't really work out. We picked now.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>While I applaud the Buccaneers anytime they pick a player

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>from Northwestern, Northwestern Center, Austin King didn't work didn't really

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 1>work out for us, But a fourth round pick is

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty valuable. I mean what's a recent fourth round pick?

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Jordan whit Kwan Alexander Right, Yeah, starters. So, um, it

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>can be very valuable, not only for the fact that

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 1>you might grab another valuable player, but it also since

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>two thousand seventeen, you can trade those picks. Before you

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>were not allowed to, but now gives Jason had a

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>little more ammunition for moving up and down around around

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the board if he wants to. But uh, it's good.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the highest pick we've had in a long time.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Generally when we've gotten them, they've been seventh rounders, and

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and no offense to the seventh rounders we've taken, but

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>not many of them really pan out. So this is

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a much more significant one. And the most significant player

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>we've ever taken with a compensory pick compensatory pick was

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a linebacker Al Shremand Singleton. He ended up being a

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>starter on the Super Bowl team, So it can happen. Uh.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It also finalizes the draft order, so we know where

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>all our picks are exactly like one seen in the

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>fourth round and so on. So I got a story

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>about that up on Buccaneers here on Bucaneers dot com

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>or on buckaneers dot com. If you want to go

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>check it out. Okay, perfect, I thought this question was funny.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>David said, how many people do you think we'll ask

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>about Teddy Bridgewater and Tom Brady today? Well at least

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>one already. So yeah, basically, why don't we just talk

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>about overall, uh, those two guys, what you know, what

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>we've kind of heard in general, how they might fit

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>um within this system or the likelihood and just you know,

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we know that this is this is what everyone's talking about,

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>not just for the Buccaneers but around the league, that

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback carousel is the story right now. By the way,

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I think in previous years when we've been confronted with

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>questions such as this before the start of fredency, we

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>usually declined because we were afraid that we'd be violating

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.239
<v Speaker 1>tampering policy as NFL employees. But we have since learned

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's okay for us to do it right. Yes,

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>because I think they finally realized we actually have no authority,

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>no power, no influence whatsoever. And I think that it

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>was probably too big of a compliment that they thought

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that us saying something on this show would probably have

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>an effect. So Teddy Bridgewater and Tom Brady. Um. I

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think you really look at Tom Brady and go, wow,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>is he a fit for this offense? You look on

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and go, he's maybe the greatest quarterback of all time,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>still playing at a high level. So um, if that's

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>an option, it's hard to feel bad about that, right.

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater obviously less of a body of work, but

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>really played well last year for New Orleans. And I

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>know there's a lot of people out there to say

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater isn't a perfect fit proce Arians for Bruce

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Arians his offense, And they apply the same logic to

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>any quarterback, like say a quarterback in the draft, like

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Eeson who has a big, strong arm, Like, well,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a Bruce Arians quarterback. Teddy Bridgewater maybe not

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>as powerful of an arm quarterback, so therefore not a fit.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's a little bit overblown. I think

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater could easily command uh Bruce Arianss offense. Uh. Certainly,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what you'd have is an accurate passer and one who

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>has done a real good job throughout his career and

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>last year of keeping the interception right down. And that's

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously would be a big change from what we've been experiencing. Right, Um,

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and back to the c b A a a little bit

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to Kwan had asked, what are the rules of cb

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>A voting? Is it a majority rule? Yeah, it's just

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a simple majority of whoever votes. And I know that's

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. It's like a microcosm of you know,

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the country when we're having these elections. The big deal

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of people is just trying to urge

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>as many people as possible to actually exercise the right

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to vote. So I know there's people, there's players in

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>the like on the executive committee or or more involved

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>in the union who, um are really involved in this

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and know all the ins and outs of the proposal.

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>But what they really want is for as many of

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the players in the rank and file to actually look

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>at it and to vote, because not everybody's going to vote,

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>but they like to get as many as possible to

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>do so. Um And so yeah, once they do, it'll

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>be a simple majority of that vote. Yeah. And they

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>have made the rule that guys can't change their vote,

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know if I feel good about that. Yeah,

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I have. I have mixed reviews, but I mean, I

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>guess if you think about it. You don't get to

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>change your presidential vote. You know, just most times, once

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you vote, you vote. That's just typically how it works.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Now they do it. Seems like with technology that wouldn't

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>be that hard. But yeah, I mean I get what

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they said, where if you voted, that meant you felt

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like you had enough information to do the vote. Yeah,

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>So procedurally I understand, and it's hard to argue with.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But if you're a person who's rooting for the CBIA

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to pass, and you know, I don't, I'm not picking

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a side here between owners and players, but I want

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a new CBA in place. Person. Yeah whatever, we're not

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>going to say anything about what's in it. We have

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>no you know, dog in that type, but just we

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>there to be well. I hope the players get what

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they want and the teams get what they want. Um.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's obviously you have to meet in the

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>middle somewhere. And the classic line is if neither side

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>is happy, then it's probably a good deal. But the

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>back to the changing the votes, I understand procedurally why

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>they would say no, and I get it, but if

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>your person rooting for this to pass, you kind of

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>probably wish they would because from what what I understand,

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the thought is that the majority of the players who

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>want to change their votes want to change from a

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>no to a yes because it's more of your rank

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and file type, the ones who are not going to

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>command the biggest salaries, and um, maybe some of them

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>were lad to believe. Uh, we're convinced by some of

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the more star power players, the ones with the who

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>are going to get the huge contracts, that this was

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>not a good deal for them, and now they're starting

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to feel with more information, hey, this is a good

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>deal for me. Maybe I should have voted yes. Interesting, Yeah,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>that'll be interesting to see. Um. Garrett asked, do you

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>see Sue stain Um and just in general as far

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>as the front seven goes, He said, we could use

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that again this season. Number one run defense. Absolutely, we

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>want that. I know you could. Every time they talk

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>about it Bruce arians and Jason Light, which they did

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>most recently at the Combine, there's no hesitation in what

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they want. They want to bring all of those guys back,

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and Bruce or Jason was asked specifically about the three

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of Shack Barrett and Dominican Sioux and Jason Pierre Paul

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.239
<v Speaker 1>and that's why I'm I'm telling you he was asked

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that specifically, because I don't want to act like I'm

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>ignoring like Karl Massum or somebody like that. But he

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>was specifically asked, can you keep all three of those?

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>And he said, I hope so, I think so. So

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>they want to and we all want to because it

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was the thing that worked the best on defense from

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>beginning to end, you know, the secondary kind of turning

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>things around. Devin White kind of developed, went through some injuries,

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>but from the beginning of the league the year to

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the end, the defensive front was really good. And and

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Bruce arians has said, we need to keep that intact

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and it won't matter who we have a quarterback if

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>we can't keep that defense. So um Patrick asked, what

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is the front office looking to handle in free agency

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and raft positions? First? So I guess essentially the top

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>priorities and is it the same in both or or

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe different. Well, what we were just talking about, I

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>think would be their priority priority and free agency and

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>um at the combine again, they were talking about this

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and they said, yes, there's some there's some really good

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>prospects that could be available. Some big guys on the

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>interior line and some pass rushers at pick number fourteen,

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and if you look at mock drafts, you'll see a

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of them. Give us guys like Calevan Chason an

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>edge rusher or Javon kin law Uh, you know, an

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>interior lineman who can put on some pressure, and those

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>would be good picks in those areas. But Bruce said,

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's or maybe it's Jason Cameron, which one.

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Those are good prospects and that that's an option for us,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>but let's see what we can get back first and

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>then see what we have to fill in. So I

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>think free agency in terms of the defensive front is

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>the priority when it comes to things like maybe you

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>need another safety, that might be another thing you address,

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and free agency, Um, when it comes to something like

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, that seems like something you probably try to

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>do in the draft, you know, because you already have

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>three really highly paid starters on your offensive line and

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of hard to imagine putting another big contract

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>on a free agent on that unit, whereas if you

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>draft a guy, you get a pretty cost controlled asset. Right, Yeah,

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point. Um, This is an initesting question.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>We haven't actually had it at we've we've been asked

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>about Jamis. I thought every which way possible. I think

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>we finally have a new way, So I figured I'd

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>use this one. Carlos said, since Winston has had LASIX

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>fixed his knee and his thumb, would that make you

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>give him more likely to give him another chance? So

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>does that change things now that you know that those

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>things have been to me? No, Um, the knee and

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the thumb things, those were obviously going to be done.

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>You were and it was it was impressive that he

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>played through those things. Let's for that. His toughness has

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>never been never been a question. And um, and he's

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>still there were too many picks obviously in the last month,

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>but he still also was putting up some big numbers,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, in terms of yards and touchdowns and and

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to do all that with the two injuries, that was impressive.

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>But there was never any doubt that those things are

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>going to be fixed. And they weren't injuries. There weren't

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>procedures that were going to be long term deals. Like

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like a replacement of a N A. C. L.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just I think it was a meniscus, the lasing thing.

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad for him as a human that he got.

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, somebody who's um, let's see was near set

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>right the as you trouble seeing farce, So we had

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>trouble reading the boards. It would squint. Um. We knew

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>this already. I mean, Bruce has answered a question about

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it at his last press conference at the end of

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 1>the season. He says, yeah, he has to squint to

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 1>see the board, but doesn't have any problem seeing his receivers.

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's if it could possibly help him play quarterback.

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think it necessarily will and I don't

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>think it was holding him back, you see what I'm saying.

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think you took Jamison. You made him

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a much better quarterback by getting lace. I think it's

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>good that he got it for him, and I'm glad

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for him. And if he thinks that will help him

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>play football, he would know better than I know. To me,

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't really change the price tame. Okay. And then

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about also the new potential rules being

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>put forward that the owners meetings are in a couple

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, and that's always something that they debate there

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>every year if they want to implement any of these

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.199
<v Speaker 1>new rules. So what are some of the ones that

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>if people haven't heard yet, that um, you find interesting

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>or that could really impact the games. So like, in

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>addition to the Competition Committee being able to come up

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.839
<v Speaker 1>with ideas to put out for a vote, teams can

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>submit ideas and teams, various teams I think Philadelphia was

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>involved in four of them have put together seven rule

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>proposals that will now be discussed at the league meetings.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think the couple that I find most interesting

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>are one they want to have another option for on

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>site kicks, and this is one that's been discussed before,

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's not a new idea. But as you know,

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>UM kicks have dropped in percentage of how many are successful.

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's seven points last year, I think. But um,

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that's because they have the rules where you can only

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>have so many guys on each side of the kicker.

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's good because it was it was just another

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>safety thing and so pretty much when you pass safety rules,

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't go backwards. So I don't think they're going

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to change that. So the onsite kick is not a

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>high percentage play at all. And I guess teams want

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to have an option where hey, it doesn't feel like

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just going through the motions. It's never gonna work right.

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.679
<v Speaker 1>When you see an honest like kick nowadays, you you

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.319
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's gonna work right. So I think it

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was Philadelphia proposed that one that's been bandied about the

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years of you, after you score, if

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.839
<v Speaker 1>you want this option for an onside kick, you get

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball your own twenty five facing fourth and fifteen

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and if you can convert that and then you keep it.

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>If not, the obviously you're giving the ball in your territory.

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of the same two possible outcomes a

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>little more punitive in this case because you're giving them

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 1>ball you're five or thirty or something like that. Um,

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's the same idea. You get it's a tough play,

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>but if you get it, you get possession. If not,

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>then you're getting the ball in in your own territory.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's an interesting idea. And then the other one

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 1>that I thought was significant was a proposal to move

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>over time back from timids to fifteen, which I don't

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>think will asked because again it's another player's safety. But

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought that rule of changing to ten was dumb.

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's had good consequences, and I wish

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they would change it back to fifteen. The ten minute period.

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>If one team has a relatively lengthy drive but doesn't

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>score or scores a field goal, you know, then the

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 1>other team gets shot. There's often not a whole lot

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 1>of time left. Yeah, I wish they would change that back,

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>but I doubt it will happen. All right, Well, that's

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it for us on this edition of Buccaneers

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Insider Live, presented by Miller Lyte. Thinks, as always to

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>everyone who's submitted questions, will be back here next week,

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>hopefully with some answers, and if not, it's at least

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of what tampering periods by the yes, we will.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, thanks again and we'll see you next week.
